How to bake pork chops

Making pork chops in the oven is super easy. When you cook them in the oven you can cook your veggies at the same time, making dinner quick and easy.

The trick here is to choose a baking dish that's not too big. You want the pork chops to be fairly snug so that their juices don't evaporate while cooking. It makes the chops juicier.

  1. Rub some olive oil and spices over the pork chops.
  2. Pop them into your oven.

That's it! Seriously, these are easy pork chops at their best!

How long to bake pork chops at 400 degrees?

The biggest 'trick' to making oven baked pork chops is to not overcook them. Since pork chops are lean meat, they will dry out if you leave them in the oven for too long. But don't worry, here's an easy way to know exactly how long you should cook your chops.

In a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven, boneless pork chops need to cook for 7 minutes per ½ inch of thickness. If you are using bone-in pork chops, add an extra minute for each ½ inch.

If you're new to making roasted pork chops, the best way to tell if they are fully cooked is to use an instant read meat thermometer. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. We use our meat thermometer to make sure the meat doesn't overcook.

Which spices are the best with pork?

We make a spice mix that that gets rave reviews from everyone who tries it. It's our go-to spice that we use on both chicken and pork. We've made it so many times and we never get tired of it. Here's what is in it:

  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper

It's a basic spice rub that has so much flavor!

Is this baked pork chop recipe healthy?

Yes! Pork chops are lean meat and are low in calories and fat and high in protein. This is a healthy pork chop recipe as it is made without any sugar. Pork recipes will often call for sugar, but it is really not necessary. There is no reason to take a healthy cut of meat and add a bunch of sugar to it. These chops are sugar-free and delicious.

They are also low-carb, gluten-free, and paleo.
